Default Q8s BB

UTG in this hand is just a typical bad loose passive old guy.

CO gets his own paragraph because he's a little strange. He's this old guy who plays very strangely and all out of sorts. Every hand that gets shown down, whether he's in the hand or not, he takes out a notepad and writes down what hand won the pot. He has different pages for different hands like flush, straight, trips, etc. He's been raising a decent amount preflop this session and mixing in all sorts of weird bluffs at the wrong times, like randomly donking the turn after check calling the flop and a total brick hits.

Ok so the hand: We're like 6 or 7 handed, UTG limps, CO raises, I call in BB with Q8dd, limper calls.

Flop is Kd7d3c. I bet because I've been donking all sorts of hands this session and typically just annoying people. UTG calls, CO calls.

Turn is 6s. I check, UTG checks, CO bets, I raise, UTG calls, CO folds.

River is 2d. I bet, UTG raises, I call.

Comments on all streets appreciated.

Edit/ It may be important to note that I planned on betting all rivers once UTG called.

Crap when you wrote that I realized I got the turn card wrong. It's fixed now. I didn't have a pair I still just had queen high.

Bet on the flop was not such a good move. You don't need me to tell you that the reason you give for betting is not sound poker logic.

You're only getting 2-1 odds on your flop bet, which isn't good enough to bet a flush draw for value. You're not going to buy yourself a free card when acting first, and you might get raised. And if your opponents are such weak players, you don't gain any value by mixing up your play. So just check and call.

All your other plays look fine.

But I have a lot of bluff equity on this flop. On a board as broken as this where I hold the only draw, I'm putting in some sort of action whether it be check-raising or betting out. It's way too easy for this flop to completely miss both of my opponents.

lol

okay lobster boy

we have a strong hand here and
a lot of equity in this pot

this is a very ragged board

look at it this way
if we are behind
we have anywhere
from 9-15 outs

if no one has anything
which is very likely with
the texture of this flop
by taking the lead
we increase our chances
of picking up the pot
someone may peel a turn
but one more brick
and one more barrel
this pot can be ours

now isnt that better
than check/calling?
which i am assuming
you are advocating
